Generation of Tex33 knockout mice. (A) Schematic representation of the deletion of Tex33 exons 2–4 via Cas9 microinjection. Primers were designed for genotyping. F targets intron 1, R1 targets exon 2 and R2 targets intron 4. (B) Genotyping of Tex33 offspring by PCR assay. (C) Comparison of TEX33 knockout efficiency between Tex33+/+, Tex33+/− and Tex33−/− mice by western blot analysis. (D) Detection of TEX33 expression in testes (upper panels) and sperm (lower panels) by immunofluorescence analysis. WT, wild-type; F, forward; R, reverse; gRNA, guide RNA; TEX33, testis-expressed protein 33; +/+, Tex33+/+ (wild-type) mice; +/−, Tex33+/− (heterozygous) mice; −/−, Tex33−/− (homozygote) mice; Bl, blank; DAPI, 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.
